Good job on the bike man and I Love the video good job 👍 the next thing you should make a internet Go kart

[@BANANAMan-fc7rv]

Bro why didnt you say this before i git my lisense amd was biking to work😂😢😢😢😢😢

[@ELECTRICBIKEDIYLIFE]

One thing I'd recommend on that is to put at least one torque arm on the front fork. That fork's kind of weak for that power of motor and that axle is likely to spin out of the dropouts. Also that fork wasn't designed to have a disk brake caliper attached to it so there's a good possibility that repeated use of the front brake will eventually bend or break the fork. There's at least 20+ e-bikes that can compete against the Hyper Scrambler.

[@ChayDenne]

thats a really good idea!

[@aaron092000]

​@@ChayDenne sick video! You should do a collab with e-bike guy and get that 100mph ebike built! 🎉🎉 I'd your stuck on what parts let me know!

[@johngavina1]

I was just about to say the same. Without a torque arm the very torque of the motor can actually loosen your wheel nuts. I have two on my trike build.

[@Burnt-nuggie]

Y’all are full grown men why are you watching this lol

@@Burnt-nuggie Because I'm a full grown man with an e-biking KZbin channel.

[@Supercorndog946]

You guys are so creative. I love watching you building things.

[@bruhification]

Why did you fully rivet the battery compartment? How will you access the battery when you need to do maintenance?

[@Reaper7332]

The top comes of I think

[@zoroverse8358]

Great to see you are doing so well. I have been a subscriber since your second video, and i always knew you would become successful. You absolutely deserve it, you have been so dedicated to the channel, and have a great attitude. Keep up the good work!! Some of the older videos seem to have been deleted, but the new ones are even better!!

[@ChayDenne]

thank you so much! its great hearing tht youve stuck with us all this time! and yeah 1 or 2 got deleted but thats all :D

[@liamsherm]

You are awesome dude I think I really started to watch your vids when you did the I did DoorDash for 12 hrs, you may not post once a week or daily but it’s worth it bc your vids are insanely good

[@kadenickel]

you guys have so much blue paint from the bus xDD i love it well done

[@lisarae7212]

I love this video! I just have one question how do you charge the battery?

[@seandennis7611]

This is pretty decent overall. I did a similar build but with a mid drive kit so I can go up hills (a mountain) without eventually burning up the hub motor and ride with even less parasitic drag. A hardtail so there would be space for a battery pack in the middle. Think that if you fall forward the family jewels could take a pretty rough hit maybe put a cushion on there if you actually are going to use it. Secondly depending on battery and where you are charging it can be nice to be able to detach the battery I charge mine in my fireplace because im a bit paranoid.

[@DrizzleRaider48]

Dude you are just the best

[@shawnbaldwin2019]

Very nice work you guys

[@JakeJakeSteve]

You are the KZbinr who deserves 1M+ subs

[@Naumaan596]

Your creations are awesom

[@OWK000]

I just scored a freebie Marin east peak FRS full suspension mountain bike with a really rusty chain, flat tires and bent drop off (derailluer), but Marin bikes have a special feature to protect the frame from bending when you wack the drop off-a kind of breakaway part or something. . . might just need to tighten a bolt. It's Ninties bike which seems like it has low miles. Unfortunately this model year does not have disc brakes. I am going to be watching a lot of these build videos, meanwhile I am going to buy a new chain, clean it up and ride it as a regular bike for a while. ***you need to primer metal with special bare metal primer before painting.

[@Spitzboi09]

[@samgiler1801]

good work especially your brother helping you out. now we have to wait another two months for a video to come out?

[@Badass-cycles]

And, it gifts a lot of fun to build your own e bike and the battery is the most expensive part. Great that you showed us how to build easy yopur own fast e bike, ore, you can buy a 250watt motor for legal use (in the Netherlands ) Okay, the Scrambler has a wider range but that bike used 2 batteries. Keep building

[@skybeee]

looks great

[@cabrerarodrigo82]

Is the structural integrity of the bike compromised since you removed that metal brace?

[@ChayDenne]

we thought it might be, but after we cut it off we put it through some serious tests and it was fine !! haha

I am so happy that this guy uploaded I thought that he left youtube

Let’s say the price is 200,000 want it?

[@Incatnito-insane]

i think it would be a really cool idea if you could find a way to turn the energy of the pedaling into energy for the battery

The HS2 motor is only 1000w with 1800peak probably. I have the Hyperscorpion since 2020. Very similar in power but I recently ordered a Ristretto 512 A20, paid $2800 but it going for $3,395.75 with a 15% discount code. It goes 40mph. Mid-drive motor peaks at 4500w peak with 250N.m of torque. I've test ridden it once at their HQ in Austin, TX and recently at Electrify Expo in Austin the bike is a beast. I can't wait for them to start shipping which should be in end of December/early January.

[@alfielamb9291]

How are you going to charge it

[@user-9352d]

Every e bike or e scooter battery comes with a charger, they just didn't drill a hole in the metal for the port to charge it, so idk either 😅

[@DanTheMan_2010_]

Good job. However quick question do you think you could try to make one that costs less and doesn’t need and welding or anything. Please. Also keep up the great work

[@The_Justice_Pack]

Just lookup budget builds on KZbin you can essentially do what he did with a smaller motor and just ductape the battery to the frame

Just so people are aware, ebikes are supposed to be speed capped so that may be why the homemade one was able to win.

[@Egyptiancat01]

your my favourite youtuber

[@smdickinson8316]

I definitely want to try something like this cause I'm just so against the idea of owning a car. Having to pay for parking, gas, expensive maintenance and then on top of that, registration and insurance. And if it is a custom made ebike, it won't look as sleek and probably will be less likely to get stolen if left out, so I see that as a plus rather than a negative. Being able to go 30mpg for 30~ miles is incredible for the cost. I just wonder how the battery depreciation would be after hundreds or thousands of miles

[@gnvnew4170]

Who else was waiting for president chay to upload? 👇

[@sneakyplays101]

with airup does the scent get mixed into the water or do you just smell the scent and it flavors the water? because im with cirkul and it flavors the water by mixing in flavor juice with the water when you drink it.

Great job! i'm trying to make one as well just be careful with the front suspension because I used one exactly like that bike that u used and it basically fell apart as i was bombing it down a hill at full throttle (the one u used looked like it was designed for a kid / tennager) if that breaks just upgrade to a hardtail designed for adults. 😁

​@@AnandaDaCosta the kits at the time 36v 26 inch just over $200 ebay/Amazon. The batteries are second life (from rental scooters) $100ish "shorty r5" with charger from jeg35. Mounted them on rear racks. They have rim brakes and bought the best pads I could find.
